Thomas Boston: His Life And Times

by Andrew Thomson

Few British pastors can claim to have written a book that is amongst the 'life-books of their generation', yet Boston is one. His Fourfold State of Man has been the instrument of countless conversions and could be said to have changed the zeitgeist of his era as effectively as Luther's Commentary on Galations, Alleine's Alarm to the Unconverted, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Edwards' Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Wilberforce's True Christianity or Lewis' Mere Christianity.

I wish people wrote like this man in the modern day. He captured the life of Thomas Boston beautifully and accurately. Boston has become a hero in the faith for me recently. I count it a privilege to be writing my dissertation on him!

My 2nd greatest Christian hero.

A good introduction to the world in which Thomas Boston lived. Scotland could do with a few more men like him, ministers who will stand for truth and also preach the Gospel freely.
